It’s exactly what you want a Strauss
opera to be – deliciously extravagant!
Can the elegantly alluring Marschallin
find lasting happiness with her lover
Octavian, who’s half her age? Does
the hot-blooded Baron really think
his exalted position guarantees that
young Sophie will be his wife? All
bets are o when Sophie receives
an engagement rose from the Baron
– delivered by the devastatingly
handsome Octavian.
Love, sex, fidelity, and aging are
delicately explored in a masterwork
that artfully blends laugh-out-loud
humor with insightful poignancy.
Der Rosenkavalier
is a grand event
with more than 100 musicians, famous
waltzes, and ravishing performances
in store from
Alice Coote
,
Sophie
Koch
, and
Amanda Majeski
–
glorious singing actresses who
have each triumphed at Lyric and
internationally. And treat yourself to
two eagerly awaited Lyric debuts:
celebrated British bass
Matthew
Rose
and silver-voiced German
soprano
Christina Landshamer
.
